MEE6 alternatives, compared honestly.

How we picked

• Covers the everyday jobs people use MEE6 for: moderation, roles, leveling, welcome messages or notifications.
• Self-serve: invite the bot and configure it without writing code.
• Every claim about another bot comes from that bot’s own website or documentation.
• We say what each one is best at — including the cases where it is not CloudMod.

1. 1

   CloudMod

   Top pick

   Best for running several servers as one network

   CloudMod is an all-in-one bot built for communities that span more than one server: roles, nicknames and bans sync from a main server to every connected server, next to moderation, tickets, logging, leveling, welcome messages, reaction and button roles, and Twitch and YouTube alerts. Pricing is per network — a free Node plan, Link at $3.99/month, Network at $7.99/month and Grid on request.

   Verdict: The pick if your community is — or will be — more than one server.

2. 2

   Dyno

   A long-standing moderation and utility bot

   Dyno is organised into modules. Its documentation describes an Automod module that watches for banned words, spam and more, with per-rule log channels and replies, plus custom commands and autoroles; Premium extends some limits, such as the autorole delay.

   Verdict: A solid choice for moderation-focused single servers.

3. 3

   Carl-bot

   Reaction roles, automod and logging

   Carl-bot describes itself as a fully customizable, modular bot featuring reaction roles, automod, logging and custom commands. Its automod can combine several punishment actions and hand infractions to a mod channel for review.

   Verdict: Strong if reaction roles and detailed logging are your main needs.

4. 4

   ProBot

   Welcome images, leveling and protection

   ProBot’s site covers welcome images with the member’s name and avatar, a leveling system that rewards level roles, and protection modules such as anti-raid and VIP protection.

   Verdict: A good fit if welcome images and leveling are the centre of your server.

5. 5

   YAGPDB

   Scriptable custom commands, self-hostable

   YAGPDB is a modular bot whose source code is public on GitHub, with instructions for hosting it yourself. Its custom commands support a template scripting language and several trigger types, and its role menus assign roles by reaction.

   Verdict: The pick for admins who want to script their own commands.

6. 6

   Arcane

   Leveling and YouTube notifications

   Arcane’s documentation centres on leveling — role rewards for activity and several leaderboards — and on YouTube notifications for new videos, shorts and streams.

   Verdict: Worth a look if leveling and creator alerts are what you use MEE6 for.

7. 7

   Sapphire

   A customizable multi-purpose bot

   Sapphire describes itself as a highly customizable multi-purpose bot with auto moderation, welcome messages, reaction roles, logging, social notifications, custom slash commands and scheduled messages.

   Verdict: A broad single-server all-rounder.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best MEE6 alternative?

It depends on what you use MEE6 for. For a community that spans several servers, CloudMod is built for exactly that. For scripted custom commands, YAGPDB; for reaction roles and logging, Carl-bot; for leveling and creator alerts, Arcane.

Is there a free MEE6 alternative?

Yes. CloudMod has a free Node plan, and paid plans start at $3.99/month. For the other bots, their own sites say what is free and what a paid tier adds.

Which MEE6 alternative works across multiple servers?

CloudMod is built for it: a main server is the source of truth, and roles, nicknames and bans sync to every connected server in your network.

Can I keep MEE6 and add CloudMod?

Yes. Bots do not get in each other’s way — many communities run CloudMod for network sync and moderation next to another bot they already like.
